Looking to spend about $1400-1500 on a laser engraver. Prefer a fiber laser for engraving metal. I have a 10W diode laser now that got me into laser engraving. I'm just hobbyist and won't be doing it for money. Any recommendation on brands or model?
Local person selling their fiber laser. I only have experience with diode laser as a rookie. I’m looking to engrave anodized aluminum in details. Would it be possible with a 30W fiber laser? Would a design like this be possible?
Been modifying it more to my liking. Don’t get me wrong — this thing is still a beast out of the box.
One thing I wasn’t a fan of was the safety setup. Out of the speed holster, my grip was apparently way too high and my right index finger kept blocking the thumb safety from disengaging smoothly.
So naturally… I went down the 2011 thumb safety rabbit hole and spent way too much money 🥲
Started with the Atlas Shield ambi safety. Still had the same issue, and the angle sat way too high for me. Then tried the Wilson Combat low profile safety… didn’t fit at all.
Finally landed on the Infinity single side safety and man… this thing is fire 🔥
Wish I knew about Infinity safeties sooner. I’ve been running Atlas safeties on my other 2011s, but the Infinity just feels perfect. Not too high, not too low — sits right in the middle. Honestly feels closest to the OEM Reaper safety, which I also liked a lot.
For the past year I’ve just been running a basic Amazon wagon for match days. Cheap, reliable, got the job done—hauled all my gear plus a chair without any issues. No complaints, but it always felt like a temporary solution.
Eventually I went down the rabbit hole… joggers, golf push carts, DIY builds—you name it. Then the S3 range carts started flooding my feed. They looked solid, but I couldn’t get past the camo styling.
Started digging a bit more and realized the same company makes carts for other sports. That’s when I came across their disc golf cart—and honestly, that ended up being the better fit.
Pulled the trigger on that instead of the S3. Slightly bigger footprint, more usable space, and it came with a padded seat out of the box so no more sitting up chair. For long match days, that alone made it worth it. The military discount also a plus. Hopefully this will help someone out.
Finally got around to purchasing a Aridus Imperium hand guard. Quality is top notch and easily install. Did you really think there was a magazine modification? 😂
